Monkey Puzzle Awards

MONKEY PUZZLE TRAINING & CONSULTANCY LTD -
SHORTLISTED FOR 2020 SMALL AWARD

Monkey Puzzle Training and Consultancy Ltd has been nominated for the Supply Chain Champion category at The Small Awards 2020.

Karen Meager and John McLachlan set up Monkey Puzzle Training and Consulting to support leaders and teams in their professional and personal growth through training, coaching and business strategy events. They take the latest scientific and academic thinking and make it accessible and usable in peoples’ work and everyday life. 

The Small Awards, organised by Small Business Britain, is a nationwide search for the smallest and greatest firms in the UK, across all sectors. Launched in 2017, it celebrates smaller businesses that are often overlooked for recognition at other national awards.

This year’s Small Awards will cast a particularly important spotlight on the sector’s crucial role in helping the country through the pandemic crisis. The awards form a vital part of Small Business Britain’s ongoing ‘Back to Business’ campaign.

With eleven unique categories, the awards celebrate the dynamism of the UK’s small business sector, across everything from longstanding family businesses and innovation-led start-ups, to social enterprise champions.

Michelle Ovens MBE, Founder of Small Business Britain said:

“The UK’s 5.8 million small businesses make a powerful contribution to people’s lives up and down the country, and this has been particularly striking recently. These firms mean so much to their customers and staff and they are truly at the heart of communities, but they are not in the limelight enough. The Small Awards recognises the fantastic contribution of small firms like Monkey Puzzle Training & Consultancy Ltd. We want to give them all a deserved boost - particularly in these challenging times! We had a record number of applications this year, with an incredibly high standard of entries, so all of the small businesses shortlisted should be rightly proud of this achievement.”

Judged by a panel of leading enterprise experts, the winners of all categories, along with the overall winner of Small Business of the Year, will be announced on 2 July 2020.

This year, in light of social distancing, Small Business Britain is reformatting its traditional glittering gala dinner ceremony into a lively virtual event. Small businesses across the country will zoom in together for an evening of fun celebration, featuring entertainment, special guests, speeches, networking and more!
